In this week’s podcast episode, we are sharing a replay episode from a c-section roundtable with Ashley, Aisha, and two incredible NICU mamas from our community, Lindsay and Kristen!

In this honest and gentle conversation, we share about the moments leading up to our C-sections, whether they were unexpected, emergent, or part of a high-risk journey, and what it felt like to walk through a birth experience that maybe didn’t look the way we had hoped or planned.

We talk about the loss of control, the decisions made in an instant, the things we remember (and the things we don’t), and the layers of healing that come after. We also hold space for the grief that can exist alongside deep love—and begin to gently reframe what it means to give birth through a C-section.

If you’ve ever struggled with your birth story, felt disconnected from your delivery, or wrestled with accepting your scar, this episode is for you.

As you listen, we hope you feel seen, held, and reminded that your story matters here. You are seen and loved!
